Showers are expected to remain across parts of the UK as festivalgoers arrive at Glastonbury on Wednesday, the Met Office said.
Four yellow warnings were in place until Tuesday evening and Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia was temporarily suspended after nine minutes due to a waterlogged pitch at Hampden Park.
Scattered showers will continue on Wednesday and Thursday, including in south-west England, with some areas experiencing thunder and lightning.
The wet weather will not douse the heat though, as temperatures are likely to exceed 30C (86F) by the weekend.
A spokesperson for the Met Office, Greg Dewhurst, said: “On Wednesday, it is going to be generally across the whole of the UK another day of sunny spells and some scattered showers. Showers could be heavy and thundery at times, particularly across the north and west of the UK.
“At the moment we don’t have any warnings for thunderstorms but there could be potentially some more that get issued and perhaps at short notice.
“It is a repeat performance on Thursday with some sunshine and showers, perhaps with more of a focus on parts of England and Wales. Temperatures are still on the warm side, perhaps a degree higher, so 29C in the south-east.
“It is a similar picture in the south-west to the south-east, with a risk of some showers over the next couple of days. The showers should become less frequent for England and Wales on Friday but it does turn wetter and breezier for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
“Temperatures again are around 30 degrees at the maximum in the south-east.”
